Beluga Whales at the Georgia Aquarium

As of 2010, Atlanta is the seventh-most visited city in the United States, with over 35 million visitors per year.[1] The city was the 12th most popular destination for overseas visitors, who numbered 712,000 in total (2010).[2]

Atlanta's premier tourist attraction is the world's largest aquarium, the Georgia Aquarium, located a 20-acre (81,000 m2) site at Pemberton Place that is also home to the World of Coca-Cola and within walking distance of Centennial Olympic Park, Mercedes-Benz Stadium, State Farm Arena, the CNN Center and other downtown Atlanta tourist attractions.

The Jackson Street Bridge in Old Fourth Ward is one of Atlanta's most iconic landmarks and a highly popular photo destination for tourists due to the city's downtown skyline and major highways in the background.[3][4]

Atlanta also attracts visitors with its performing arts venues, museums and historical sites, parks, cuisine, and its many festivals and events.
